The rapid expansion of the universe has been the most perplexing enigma in physics. To unravel this cosmic puzzle, scientists turn to the fundamental laws of physics, including Albert Einstein's ...

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Scientists have attempted to disprove Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity for the better part of a century. After testing and confirming Einstein’s prediction in 2002 that ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. Now, a newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

Scientists could soon test Einstein's theory of general relativity by measuring the distortion of time. General relativity states that gravity is the result of mass warping the fabric of space and ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity describes gravity as the warping of space-time geometry by mass, a concept distinct from Isaac Newton's absolute space and time, and has been empirically ...

A bizarre "cosmic glitch" in the theory of how the gravity of the universe works may have been mended. The strange glitch in Einstein's description of gravity in his theory of general relativity may ...

Earth’s mass and rotation affect the fabric of space and time. “This NASA mission is the culmination of 45 years of work at Stanford ...

The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

To understand gravity, Einstein had to rethink space and time as a single connected fabric. He showed that mass bends this fabric, guiding how everything moves. NOVA is available to stream on pbs.org ...

The accelerating expansion of the Universe has puzzled scientists since its discovery in 1998. This phenomenon, one of the ...

One hundred years after Albert Einstein proposed his theory of general relativity, a theoretical physicist, Erik Verlinde from the University of Amsterdam, proposes a revision, suggesting that gravity ...
